Inside the warehouse there are lots of unique shops selling all kinds of Hokkaido specialties, handicrafts, and souvenirs. I especially recommend picking up Hakodate’s local dried seafood and sweets.

This multi-purpose complex occupies part of Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse, one of Hakodate’s most popular sightseeing spots. The facility repurposes red brick warehouses once owned by Nippon Yusen, with a canal-constructed around 1882 (Meiji 15)-flowing between two buildings connected by bridges, creating a striking and memorable scene.
Inside are shops across a wide range of genres, including stores selling distinctive accessories, fashion items, and general goods, as well as souvenir shops and cafés. Visitors can also enjoy hands-on craft experiences such as music box making and leatherwork, or take a bay cruise around Hakodate Port. The complex further features a chapel with an adjoining restaurant for weddings, along with gallery spaces suitable for exhibitions and presentations.
The canal area, cooled by refreshing sea breezes, is a popular place for strolling. At night, the buildings are illuminated, creating an even more romantic atmosphere. The monument known as the Bell of Happiness in the event plaza is a recommended photo spot, perfect for commemorative pictures with the canal as a backdrop.
